NuCalm: This revolutionary stress management system combines neuroscience, biochemistry, and physics to relax the body and mind without drugs. Through a combination of light-blocking glasses, neuroacoustic software, and topical cream, NuCalm promotes deep relaxation and improves recovery and sleep quality.
Sleep Apnea Appliances: Custom oral appliances designed to effectively treat sleep apnea and snoring. These devices are comfortable, non-invasive solutions that promote better sleep and overall health. Patients benefit from improved breathing during sleep, reduced daytime fatigue, and enhanced quality of life without the need for cumbersome CPAP machines.
TENS Unit: A TENS unit, or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation unit, is used to treat TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders by sending low-voltage electrical currents to the jaw muscles. This stimulation helps relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve blood flow, promoting healing and easing discomfort associated with TMJ issues.
TEKscan/Tscan: We use this diagnostic tool to assess joint issues by measuring the distribution and timing of bite forces. In dentistry, it helps identify occlusal imbalances and improper bite patterns, enabling precise adjustments. This technology aids in diagnosing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and optimizing treatments for joint health.
The Wand: We use “The Wand” a computer-assisted anesthesia system to deliver precise, controlled doses of anesthetic, minimizing discomfort for patients. This technology enhances the patient experience by reducing pain and anxiety associated with traditional injections.
